Burning Sam Camp Site Plan and Leave No Trace Plan

Go Visit The Bomb Bay Tea Company

Shared Resources and Placement

We are requesting theme camp placement next door to our friends,
The Bomb Bay Tea Company.
http://www.arborealarts.com/bm2008/camp/index1.htm

* We will share camp structures and resources as well
as a common Victoriana/Steampunk theme. Burning Sam is
wild, wild, west, Americana flavor to their Brittanica.
* We will be participating with their camp activities
(tea service) and they with ours (Burning Sam Parade).
* We will provide a 20x20 foot shade structure
plus awning for additional tea service space.
* Bicycle parking area for visitors to the
Bomb Bay Tea Company
* Burn Barrel
*Additional shade for their members
* Additional ambiance, decor and personnel to help carry
out the Tea House and Western Parlour Steampunk theme
* BBT Co. will provide fire safety and recycling, garbage and gray water evaporation facilities

LEAVE NO TRACE:
* Both Burning Sam and Bomb Bay Tea Company are
committed to Leave No Trace.
* The leaders of Burning Sam are experienced Burning
Man participants and life-long wilderness campers.
* Packaging of all gear and foodstuffs brought
to the playa will be minimized.
* The site will be scoured by a daily MOOP (Matter out of Place) patrol.
* Small amounts of paper may be burned in the camp burn barrel.
* Handy, large garbage and recycle containers will be disguised by burlap coffee bags.
* Grey water will be first prevented when ever possible
and then what does occur will be evaporated via burlap
wicking from a small contained pond
* At departure, recycling (aluminum cans will
be donated to Can Camp), garbage and any remaining grey
water will be packed out.
* The site will be walked in a grid by teams of two to collect MOOP.
Richard is MOOP Captain.
* Any small holes from shade structures will be filled
and the surface tamped flat.
* Solar power will be the source of choice for lighting, with additional power needs supplied by rechargeable batteries and propane fuel for cooking

FIRE SAFETY:
* The burn barrel will be positioned 20 feet away from any structures or
flammable objects.
* It will not be in use during high winds or other unsafe conditions.
* There will be a camp member assigned to fire watch duties when it is in use.
* Five gallons of water and a fire extinguisher will be on hand at all times.
* The Burn barrel will be covered and secured when
not in use in order to prevent becoming a garbage collection container.
* Ashes will be removed when cool and stored with garbage and hauled home.
